Toxicity in Apex

Here I go again:

Back in the day Halo Reach had a player "psych evaluation" where you self-reported some information about your play style and match goals and the game used that data to match you with the like-minded.

Respawn, I don't care one bit about being matched with teammates of similar mechanical skill. I care about being matched with teammates who play the way I do and want the same things out of a match that I want. The entire lobby should be matched within a certain mechanical skill window, but beyond that you need to assemble teams based on compatibility. You don't and that's why your matchmaking is actively driving players away from the game.

What I learned from Reach is great teams are those that play together consistently over long periods of time. The game doesn’t facilitate that behavior. The players do.

You're right. This applies to "great" teams though. What about good teams? Or decent teams? I don't think most people play Apex for "greatness" from random teammates. Although, people do want to play a game according to the vision the "devs" have created and intended to function. 

The game doesn’t facilitate that behavior. The players do.

How are the players supposed to facilitate the behavior? What tools do they use? Because for years people have been using services such as Discord to connect with other players. A game relying on 3rd party services isn't a good substitution for social networking.

If the "Stay with Team" feature isn't added for Split 2 and beyond our beloved Apex is going to decline further. Another option is to deactivate the current requeue feature so that players back out to see "game invites". I feel so alone on this forum in regards to this issue. People would rather complain about the solo/duo queue experience instead of improving it. 

I wish I could do something about this. But I can't do nothing but wait and see if the devs care. Once changes are made then it would make no sense for players to complain about their random teammates.

I swear if I was leading the social aspect of this game I would love a way to keep players from complaining. I would sleep better knowing that I'm doing my best to create a non toxic gaming experience FOR ALL. 

Why? Because I want people (adults) to spend money on my product with no barriers in the way.

I've been so upset with the devs I wouldn't allow my young nephew to play the game. I ended up redownloading the game for him. Remember, most people spending money on video games are "adults"; either for themselves or kids. 

can't handle the heat don't go in the kitchen. no ones forcing you to play in a ranked competitive environment where people are a little more emotional, I personally get a lot of people try and add me to continue playing when I solo que maybe you are the problem ? 

I just deleted the game again......

It's too hot... I can't handle it. I'm burning up. Stop, drop, and roll. Alright, I'm good now.

Have fun solo queuing guys!!!! :-)

another plat bites the dust

I'm not biting anything dusty. LOL. 

But I did redownload Warzone. You think it's cool for customers to move on to another brand? That's hilarious. :-P

Oh yeah... Warzone has plenty of player engagement tools for solo queue players and most of all they have a "Stay with Team" feature after each match.

That's the whole purpose of my posts on this forum. For the devs to add social features to the game. So keep defending whatever you're defending. When they finally do add the "Stay with Team" feature I hope you have fun using it. Remember this little back and forth. 

I'm not a fan of WZ, I like Sci-Fi games. But if Walmart doesn't understand my needs I'll just go shop with Amazon or any other competitor. 

Bye Felicia. :-)
